Since 2008, Run Kids Run has organized hundreds of kids events that have a focus on health and active fun. Below are several examples of the types of events we have managed.

PASADENA TRIATHLON AT THE ROSE BOWL AQUATICS CENTERAdding a Kids Triathlon to the Pasadena Triathlon opened up the event to young kids (ages 3-10) who otherwise couldn't participate in the main events. It has been a huge hit and has sold out each year. Due to the nature of the course and in an effort to keep the children close to the main transition area, we divide the children into 3 waves with the youngest group (5-6 year olds) doing a shorter version of the course. The kids start with a 1/2 mile trail run, followed by a 3 loop (1.5 mile) bike course on a closed road, and end with a 50m swim in the pool. It is so great to have some many young kids, including several special needs children, participate each year and have had multiple kids move on to the full distance "Junior Triathlon".

BURBANK Y TURKEY TROTThe Burbank Y Turkey Trot has garnered a huge community draw for their 5K, 10K and Kids Run on Thanksgiving morning. As their Kids Run registrations began to exceed 100 several years ago, our team came in to help redesign a 1K course that could accommodate the growing number of children without interfering with the main race. With help from the local law enforcement who provides a motorcycle lead, we have created a safe and spacious course with plenty of volunteers to direct and cheer for the children. Each year, the kids run continues to grow and we are happy to have a course that has plenty of extra room.

WONDER WOMAN WALK KIDS ZONEThis family friendly event was expecting a large number of children at their event and brought in Run Kids Run to help manage the robust Kids Zone. We provided game equipment and crafts; helped manage the volunteers, inflatables, and sponsor booths. The Kids Zone was so popular that it stayed open even as the main expo was being torn down.

VENTURA MARATHON KIDS BEACH CHALLENGEThe Ventura Marathon asked Run Kids Run to organize and manage their kids event on Saturday during the expo, before the main event. In order to make the event more full for the kids, we created a Kids Beach Challenge that started with the Kids Run on the sand, followed by games like a sand-bucket relay (pictured), potato sack race, obstacle course, and hula hoop contest.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MOVE-A-THONA local elementary school requested our help managing their annual fundraising fitness day. We have overseen a variety of themed activities each year including a giant all-school obstacle course, a dance-a-thon, a jump-a-thon, and a field day. In addition to contacting outside vendors to help with the activities, managing volunteers, and requesting food donations, we have also helped develop fundraising and promotional materials.
